This is classic Berrios. Some of his pitches have nasty movement, so much so you wonder how anyone hits him. But he loses focus or something, I don't know, and he always seems to pitch down to the other team's ability. Next thing you know he's getting knocked around.

He's had a rough year for Toronto -- 1.32 WHIP before tonight, although thanks to the offense he is 8-4. 

[RickOShea]

Berrios probably takes a quick shower and sneaks out of the stadium to look up an old girlfriend.  One reason he didn't want to pitch too deep into the game.

What is that lime green thing that Berrios has in his mouth? It can't be a mouth guard...at least not one that I've ever seen before. I thought it was a leaf the first time they showed it. 

Toronto  Maple Leaf ???

It is a mouth guard.  My son used one for a while. Couldn't get comfortable with it.  It's a partial guard.

No runners left behind?

 

Or did miss one?

Or to answer more clearly, i knew early innings had runners erased on double plays and an outfield assist, and that wall run scoring ended with homeruns, thought maybe neither team had stranded a baserunner...

I'm sorry, that's incorrect. 

"Yes" is the answer we were looking for.

We have some lovely parting gifts. Thanks for playing.

Extra oats is what results from bad defense in Toronto.

Taking your comment far more seriously than you intended it, Jose is about the last guy who would come to my mind for that.

I Could Be Wrong.

Don’t feel bad for Duffey, he had a good run.

I'm not good with karaoke either, if the lyrics don't suit me.
